Calli B Photography is a boutique wedding photography studio located in Maroochydore, on the beautiful Sunshine Coast.

Owned and operated by Calli Burnett, a member of the Australian Institute of Professional Photography, Calli B Photography specialises in weddings on the Sunshine Coast, Noosa and Maleny, but is available to travel to Brisbane and other destinations.

With ten years experience, Calli is the leading wedding photographer on the Sunshine Coast and has photographed hundreds of weddings, and also has a number of Associate Photographers in her team.

The Team’s wedding photography is very natural and relaxed, capturing emotion and spontaneous moments, as well as the finer details of your wedding day.

Utilising natural lighting, incredible backgrounds and choosing locations carefully in order to reflect their client’s vision is what Calli B Photography has become known for.

Whether it is breathtaking location shots or intimate close ups, their contemporary style of wedding photography portrays an ability to capture unique and individual images.

The Calli B team find inspiration from many sources, including the raw emotion of photojournalism, the glamour of fashion photography and each couple’s unique relationship.

They understand that telling the story of a couple’s day is the most important task of a wedding photographer, and believe moments shouldn’t be interrupted nor situations posed, unless it is required to realise a particular creative vision.

How did you and your partner meet?

“My husband and I met in high school. I was new to town and we were introduced through my family. It was love at first sight, quite cute really.”

How did he propose?

“We were sailing on a private gondola in the Gold Coast Queensland.”

“After dinner he proposed at sunset with Moet champagne and a dozen red roses.”

How did you choose your wedding gown?

“After trying on countless dresses and even purchasing one, I went with my best friend, one of my bridesmaids, to a little store in Adelaide and secretly tried on a dress.”

“We both instantly knew it was the one.”

“My good friend and owner at The Big Day Sarina arranged for my purchased dress to be exchanged for the gorgeous vintage laced gown I had fallen in love with, to this day I’m still so completely grateful.”

What sort of style did you envision for your wedding day?

“I wanted a classic old world vintage Gatsby feel. I had to be surrounded by flowers, I wanted soft pinks, lavenders and whites with accents of gold.”

“Love Bird Weddings and Mondo Flowers worked together perfectly in creating a timeless elegance that is captured beautifully in Calli B photography’s images of the day.”

“I initially had my heart set on Peonies but as it turns out, they were out of season for my wedding!”

“However, my florist had organised French Peonies to be imported from Paris as a special surprise on my wedding day!”

“From the simple floral styling (flowers were everywhere, my one very insistent request) along the aisle and a fantastic rose and wood arbour that surrounded us, the glass house mountains off in the distance we said our I do’s in the most romantic fashion.”

“Our day was highlighted by little style ideas, thought up over 2 years of planning, right down to the red gumboots I wore for our location shots (it had rained that morning and I wasn’t risking my Louboutin’s, plus it shows off my country bumpkin upbringing in perfect humour).”

What was your favourite moment from the day?

“There were so many very special moments, created by my amazing team of suppliers and our wonderful family but I think the quiet moments with my family and friends getting ready, my husband and I standing at the alter in a bubble of love and our grandparents being a big part of the celebration were my most beloved moments.”

“We sadly lost my husband’s Nanna recently so these moments shared with our loved ones are very cherished.”

“We had the room surrounded with wedding photos of our grandparents and loved ones who had passed, it added a truly lovely touch to our special day.”

Any DIY décor elements?

“My best friend made our stick masks themed in my husband’s favourite marvel comic characters that people used as props throughout the night and I made the menus and ceremony order of events.”

If you could do it all over again, what would you change?

“Nothing, except making the day even longer!”

“It was the most perfectly planned wedding and ran without a glitch because of my carefully selected and highly recommended team of suppliers which I cannot recommend enough as they really make your day.”

“Also, a special mention to my family who went above and beyond for us and my friends who supported us through the lead up, thanks to them the whole day was perfect.”

Any tips that you can give to future brides?

“Stay true to what you as a couple want, everyone has opinions and while they are often are valid, listen to advice but don’t live by it, as it’s your day.”

“Don’t skimp on the photographer!”

“Most importantly write a list of what’s been most important for you for your wedding from your own experiences as a guest at others, stick to that list and trust your suppliers, as it’s their job to bring it all together for you on the day.”

“Let go of the reigns the week before, really let your hair down and spend time with your friends and family because trust me when I tell you that it’s over before you know it so really embrace and enjoy every single moment including the lead up to it.”

Anything else you’d like to add?

“I actually had the privilege of working with a not-for-profit organisation called Raptor Vision based in Sunshine Coast, QLD who are a wonderful animal rescue group.”

“The guys behind this were retired Australia Zoo Raptor trainers who rescue and care for local birds.”

“To fund the cost of caring for the animals, they trained one of their owls to deliver wedding bands. Luna the Owl surprised our guests as our ring bearer for the ceremony.”

Hi, I'm Alison and welcome to my Wedding Blog. I am crazy about love & crazy about Weddings and feed my zany marriage addiction by sharing your love stories.
I have been married to my wonderful IT Geek husband Neill for 12 years, and we have two amazing kids who inspire me to succeed, and to grow as a person, and as a Businesswoman.
I have a huge heart and am fiercely loyal and expect the same from others. I have lots of patience and have been called a good listener and I do have the knack of being a wee bit of a chatterbox.
I love chocolate and jelly babies ( perhaps a little too much), I love walks in the countryside and feeling at one with nature and I love travel and exploring and wish I could do a little bit more.
I am a wee bit obsessed with property websites and if I came into money would own a string of wedding venues so I could share the love even more....
